Every month, your candle comes usually wrapped in a square of fabric, but since December they’ve been sending drawstring bags instead.
Cupid's arrows for Valentine's Day!

Now, on to the candle!
Wooly Beast Candle in Rose City – Retail Value $17.99?
(The size isn't listed on the tin, but their 6 oz tin retails for $17.99. I'm not sure if this is the same one, but it has a burn time of 25+ hours.)
This soy candle is perfect for rose lovers - it has a pure, natural rose scent. Unfortunately, I am not the biggest fan of rose scents, so I will be gifting this to someone who will love it. (I'm also impressed that Wooly Beast candles are phthalate-free, so I'm going to check out some of their other scents.
And each Vella Box also comes with a little treat like a food or beauty item:
Tahoe Flavor Toffee - Sample
This toffee is made with hand roasted almonds and pecans, rich vanilla, milk chocolate and sea salt. It tasted just as good as it looks - my husband, Eric loved it!
Verdict: I'm not sure of the total retail value of this box, but I think the pricing is fair for $12 a month. And I love that there is an inexpensive candle box that works with lots of independent candlemakers! This box feels perfect for February, too. A floral candle + chocolate toffee = Valentine's Day in a box!
